How to make email field unique in model User from contrib.auth in Django

Question

I need to patch the standard User model of contrib.auth by ensuring the email field entry is unique:

User._meta.fields[4].unique = True
<         


        

Answer 1

from an User inherited model, redefine the attribute correctly. It should work, as is it's not usefull to have that in django core because it's simple to do.
